mouseover and mouseout events are not fired within live in 1.4.4

[amit.sites@…]

I just upgraded from jQuery 1.4.2 to 1.4.4. The following code got broken: $('#element').live('hover',function(ev) {

if (ev.type =='mouseover') {

Something

} else if (ev.type == 'mouseout') {

Something else

}

}

If I do debug printing on ev.type, I receive only mouseenter and mouseleave messages. Is this a bug or an enhancement? Tried to look for it in the release notes but couldn't find such a behavior change.

Many thanks!

I believe hover binds events to mouseenter/mouseleave not mouseover/mouseout.

see: ​http://api.jquery.com/hover/

It does seem to work in 1.4.2 though

Confirmed;

<= 1.4.2 : over/out

1.4.3 : enter/leave
